Halloween 2012

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

From the cutest Mickey and Minnie there ever was!! 

Chloe Got a little minnie mouse dress up with the ears on a headband for her birthday and instantly wanted to be Minnie for HAlloween. Of course we can do better than a piddly little headband and a really cheap polka dot skirt.  My mom said she had a minni costume from when we were little, but we couldn't find the ears. SO we re-used the dress I just changed it up a little and since I was already making one set of ears I made two and made Ashley the cutest costume ever!! ha ah (am I allowed to brag a little?? she was pretty adorable) 

HA cute little mouse hugs, I had to get a picture of the tail....by far the most adorable part of the costume for sure!! 

 I also didn't want Ash to be mistaken as a boy so I just added a bow, mickey can be a girl right??  I thought maybe their bows were a little big, but can a bow be TOO big?? I seriously doubt it. 

Chloe was pretty excited about hers, and I loved that the hats were nice and warm since it is always FREEZING on Halloween. I think the bows on her shoes might have been a tad big cause we lost both of them. But the funniest thing ever, we were trick or treating over by my moms house and someone brought one of the bows back to my moms house! ha ha Only in Raymond!! 

Here is a picture of me being minnie mouse back in the day. You can see my awesome snow suit on underneath. ha ha We couldn't find the picture of Tina and Breanne wearing it, they were matching minnie mouse's one year....but the picture has been lost. sad sad day. 

We always end up at the Fire Hall to see our Two Papa's. The kids loved playing on the Fire truck!

We were at my moms house getting the girls ready to go trick or treating and Chloe did NOT want to go. She wanted to stay and "throw out candy" at all the kids. ha ha she was so cute, she loved seeing all the costumes. Maybe we will have to do that next year :)

Chloe's class party, or really it was just a snack time where they fed them a whole bunch of junk food and then we left. We didn't even get to see them do anything fun! oh well. 

One of the teachers down the hall was dressed as Mickey and came to see Chloe, but she wouldn't go NEAR him. She has always been scared of people dressed up, but i thought she MIGHT have grown out of it this year, noooooope. 

They did sing us like one halloween rhyme that they learned, and they she read them a story. Chloe was so cute knew EVERY word!! 

Doing our Holiday baking! ha ha I hate making sugar cookies, and I think this is the first time we have done it since Chloe was born.....whoops! they had so much fun we better start doing it more. sigh. 

They are just SO MUCH WORK!! but they were pretty delicious!

Ha ha oh Ash, i love your face! I should've taken an after picture of her, she was a DISASTER! all the other kids didn't have an ounce of icing on them and ash was COVERED!!! this kid I tell ya. 

I thought it might be too cold to trick or tread outside so we went to the Mall with Taryn and her kids. Hannah was Hello kitty, and Claire was Spider girl. they looked so cute! I may have had a hand in their costumes, ha ha they are just the cutest girls and we love them so much! CHloe was pretty much DONE about halfway through the mall as you can see on her happy little face.....

And this last blurry picture was at my grandma Heggie's house. They didn't want to leave, and Ashley's tail hanging down the back of the piano bench was the cutest ever!!ha ha

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

Oh and I was so excited to be a part of the halloween costume parade on one of my favorite blogs!! 

Make it and Love it!

Chloe's Birthday Doll

So I bought This doll online last year for Chloe for Christmas. I loved her luscious lips and her blonde hair that looked like chloe, she doesn't have blue eyes but 2 outta 3 aint bad! But then she ended up getting WAY too many present for Christmas so I saved it for her birthday.  And since I am insane and have to sew something for my kids for their birthdays I decided this baby needed her own wardrobe! It was kinda tricky, I could only sew when Chloe was at preschool or after she went to bed, it was worth it! I have had a bunch of people wanting to see all the clothes I made so we had a little dolly photoshoot the other day just for you Pam :)

This was the cute outfit that she came in, I love her little shoes!

She of course needed her own ballet outfit, complete with shoes! I have to be honest, these ballet shoes were hard to make!! they would NOT stay on!! super frustrating.

She had to take her doll to ballet to show her teacher of course.

So I just made a bunch of tights and little dresses, out of old clothes or fabric I already had, these didn't cost me a dime! And since Tina had an American girl doll when she was like 14 (ha ha not joking) my mom had a bunch of doll clothes patterns that made it way easier to figure it out. This doll is alot smaller tho, so I had to make all my own patterns that fit. I am REAL good at it now tho! they got progressively better the more I made. 

This ruffle shirt and these jeggings just might be my favorite tho :) 

And this coat is Chloe's favorite, her doll has to wear it every 10 minutes. And of course every doll needs her own Uggs right?

These overalls were one of the first things I made and had to keep cutting down cause they were huge, and Chloe doesn't fancy them, probably cause she has never seen any! 

This flowered shirt is one of her favorites, cause Chloe has one similar, It's made out of an old onesie. Her nightgown and runners were the only things I actually bought, I got them from Michaels...yup they have doll clothes there! 

Oh and I did buy her "fancy" dresses  I got this one at Target to match the girls' Easter dresses. It was I think a 3m size? 

But Chloe was So excited they had matching dresses! They got all dressed up and "went to the Temple" Her and Lincoln are always pretending to go to the Temple and get married. ha ha 

Her Fancy coat, with matching hat of course!

And I got this rapunzel dress on clearance at the disney store, so they can play princess together!

And the last thing I made was her birthday dress....

To match Chloes! 

It was so fun making all the clothes and I hope she keeps liking It Cause I would love to make more! Regan thinks I need to make doll clothes and sell them now, better get my sweat shop started!! 

And this was At chloe's party Tina wanted a video....and no of course I never told her to say that!! 

Sewing as of late

So Im only like 3 months behind in blogging. meh I will catch up with a bazillion pictures later. thought I would share some of the things I have sewn lately. Since I have an awesome sewing room now and LOVE to do it!  My sister had a baby. HENRY!!! he is the cutest thing ever, you can check him out at HER blog. and you really should, she is hilarious. So I was an awesome sister and made her a bunch of blankets. 

cutest fabric ever!!!

Loved this one too, the checkered side was SO soft. 

Ok Dix (my mom) made this one, but it was too cute not to share!

This one was my favorite, I was just DYING for 

someone to have a girl so I could make a scalloped blanket. 

And since Tina didn't know what she was having there was a 50% chance it was a girl......but then it wasn't. oops. 

I made a fleece one too. cause I bought some for Ash and it was so

 cheap we bought the rest of the bolt!

So 4 girl blankets and 2 boy ones.....not bad. (dix thought it was a girl)

Chloe was invited to a birthday party and I forgot to buy a present so I whipped up these adorable dolls instead. I think it is way more fun to give something handmade, and chloe was super excited cause she helped me pick out their "clothes"

I made chloe this adorable little dress. and i didn't edit one of these pictures (shhhh don't tell pam!) 

"It spins SOOO good mom!" 

Ha glad she likes it!

This adorable bouncy chair was made with love for Tina's baby. Henry looks too cute in it....again refer to HER blog :)

We went to Bear lake this year and it is one LONG drive. SO I made the girls some neck pillows...they were a HIT! 

And of course they needed some new towels to sport at the beach!

Tina asked me to make Henry a bow tie for his blessing, they are pretty cute right?

But not near as cute as the little Ties i made!!!!

Ha ha I was DYING about how cute these turned out and how stinkin easy they were! 

And this was also for Henry....man he is just getting spoiled rotten isn't he?? It was supposed to be for his shower but Chloe couldn't wait until then to give it to him!

And here is the adorable Henry Man on his blessing day. LOVE him!!! I am sure I will be making more things for this sweet little face. We are so sad they left yesterday to go back home :( big SAD face.
